Im a fan of the local teams rival. Thats where I grew up, and my son is a fan of the rival too. This is birthright right.
Sports are supposed to be how we compete physically without war. Iroquois lacrosse comes to mind.
If someone booed at my funeral, they were a friend that knew I loved the game like they do.
Yeah, I'm not a huge sportsball fan but if someone did that at my funeral, I sure as hell wouldn't haunt them from the grave over it
But what if they said:
I have a good friend who has the same birthday as another friend. They are both huge baseball fans but one is a Giants fan and one Dodgers. For non baseball fans, those teams are usually intra-league rivals. So each year for their birthdays they get each other a piece of the other team's memorabilia. And each year they quietly swap it with each other into their own collections a few weeks later, because the Dodgers fan doesn't really want Giants merch and vice versa. So like at whomever's funeral I can maybe expect a boo toward the Dodgers or Giants from this long friendship. It would feel right.
That's wholesome AF
